Every Man Is Brother

The world is going crazy and I think it ought to stop. The reasons still are hazy from the bottom to the top. A lie can be contagious, spreading round the countryside. Our leaders are outrageous; count the people who have died. An honest politician is a rarity, indeed. They lie without contrition and then watch the country bleed. There's something in the "other" that keeps vexing mankind's will, though every man is brother, so religions teach us still. Postscript: In honor of John Robert Lewis If hatred stands where love once stood humanity can't bear the cost. Survival's price is brotherhood and man must pay or man is lost. When minds we find are compromised, to grandiosity's extremes, the world becomes too traumatized by leaders lost in whimsy's dreams.
